Zeenats (my mums) Afghan Chicken
Summary
Marinating the chicken in the the yogurt and garlic makes the chicken
very moist and adds a deep flavor its also very healthy. I like to
serve with naan and a salad.
Ingredients
2 large cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups plain, whole-milk yogurt
1 large lemon juice and pulp
1/2 teaspon black pepper
2 large chicken breasts with no skin
Method
Put the salt in a wide, shallow with the garlic and stir them together
until you have paste.
Add yogurt, lemon and pepper.
Take the chicken breasts and bend each backward to break the bones so the pieces lie flat.
Add to the yogurt and turn so all surfaces are well-coated.
Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate.
Allow to marinate at least overnight.
To cook, remove breasts from marinade and wipe but leave a thin film.
Grill about 6 inches from the heat for about 8 minutes a side, or until thoroughly cooked.
Meat will brown somewhat but should not charred.
Serve at once.
